I sent an email to this list about a week ago describing my problems, but there was no response. (subject: Compro Videomate U500). I&#39;ve copied it below:<br>

<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Hi all,<br><br>I&#39;ve still been trying to get the inluded remote with my
USB DVB-T Tuner working. It&#39;s a Compro Videomate U500 - it useses the
dibcom 7000 chipset. After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) I can
now see the remote when I do a &quot;cat /proc/bus/input/devices&quot;:<br><br>
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=185b Product=1e78 Version=0100<br>N: Name=&quot;IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver&quot;<br>P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.1-4/ir0<br>S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000<div>:00:02.1/usb1/1-4/input/input7<br>

This program will record the signals from your remote control<br>and create a config file for lircd.<br><br><br>[SNIP]<br><br>Press RETURN to continue.<br><br><br>Hold down an arbitrary button.<br>irrecord: gap not found, can&#39;t continue<br>

irrecord: closing &#39;/dev/input/event7&#39;<br><br>Likewise,
if I start lirc with the following: &quot;sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -H dev/input
-d /dev/input/event7 -n&quot; and then run irw, it will run fine but there
will be no output at all.<br>
</div><br>Just looking through /var/log/syslog and noticed that it is filled with messages such as this:<br>

Feb 10 14:00:18 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.542087] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42<br>Feb 10 14:00:18 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.617927] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42<br><br>There
seems
to be about 5 such messages every second, and the controller key
listed at the end (1E 42 in this case) changes depending on the last
button pressed on the remote. The same messages appear on dmesg.
Obviously, as the code changes, the remote is being picked up by the
kernel, but not being acted upon correctly. Is this normal, and does
this mean
something is working/not working? As stated above, I am still unable to
get irrecord to show anything etc... I can&#39;t get it to work with or
without lirc...<br><br>Any ideas?<br></div><br>Cheers,<br><br>Matt <br></div></div><br>-- <br>Matthew Vermeulen<br><a href="http://www.matthewv.id.au/" target="_blank">http://www.matthewv.id.au/</a><br>MatthewV @ <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a>
